    1. Basketmouth Came for the Drink — Nothing More, Nothing Less

    Right from the jump, Basketmouth made it clear: no long talk, no stress, he was at the bar strictly for the cocktail. And honestly? Respect. Priorities were set early.

    2. Orijin Sunrise Is Still Living Rent-Free in His Head

    When asked about his favourite cocktail so far, Basketmouth didn’t hesitate. Orijin Sunrise shocked him, not just a small shock, but the kind of shock he compared to Nigeria’s economy. Unexpected, unforgettable, and clearly iconic.

    3. Passion Fruit Took Us Straight to the Caribbean

    Lara introduced the cocktail of the day as “thicky-inspired”, giving Caribbean energy, tropical vibes, and full flavour. Passion fruit came in as the star fruit, instantly setting the mood for something bold, fruity, and exciting.

    4. Agbalumo, Pepper Soup Spice… Basically, No Rules Here

    From agbalumo-inspired cocktails to casually mentioning that she has used pepper soup spice before, Lara reminded us of the core message of the series: there are no rigid rules. If it works for you, it works. Mix it your way.

    5. Pineapple Is Sweet… But Also Slightly Dangerous

     Just when you thought the episode was all vibes, Lara dropped a wild fact: Pineapples actually eat you back. Those enzymes break down protein? That tingling feeling on your tongue is pineapple doing its own work. Fun, tasty, and a little savage.
